1. Using trapezium rule, with five ordinates, evaluate

4x 2 dx
0

[4m]
2. Sketch, on the same coordinates axes, the graphs
Show that the equation

y=ex

and

4
2x

x+ 4 e =2 has a root in the interval [-1,0].

[6m]
Estimate the root correct to three decimal places by using Newton Raphson
With initial estimate x0 = 0.4
[5m]
3. Use the trapezium rule with subdivision at x=3 and x=5 to obtain an
approximation
7

to

1+x x 4 dx , giving your answer to three places of decimals.

[4m]
By evaluating the integral exactly, show that the approximation is about 4.1%
[4m]
4. Show that the equation

x 315 x2 +100=0

has a root between 5 and 6.

[3m]
Given that x0=5 as an initial approximation, use the Newton Raphson method
to find the root correct to three decimal places.
